HSB Readers: Nominate the Sauce of the Month – May

As some of you know, Sweat ‘N Spice Hot Sauces features a Hot Sauce of the Month Club. Following the Christmas season, the number of club members has nearly grown by 5x! In the past, the Sweat ‘N Spice staff has picked 1 sauce to feature each month and we’ve ordered just a few extra cases. Now, with the huge increase in members we have to order 15-20 cases of the sauce of the month.

Realizing that an order of this size is hard for some small manufacturers to supply but also realizing that an order of this size can really help spread the word about a lesser known sauce – we’ve decided to leave the sauce of the month nominations up to the HSB readers from now on. Early each month we will start the nominations for the following month.

Guidelines:
– The sauce must not have already been a Hot Sauce of the Month featured sauce (within 12 months)
– We try to emphasize flavor over fire
– The chosen manufacturer must be able to supply 15 or more cases
– Does not have to be a sauce already carried on SNS (we’ll add it to our product line)
– The chosen sauce does not have to be a “hot sauce” but must be able to be used in hot sauce like applications
– The retail price of the bottle cannot be more then $10

How to Nominate:
Simply leave a comment with the sauce you’ve chosen to nominate for the Sauce of the Month and explain why. Only 2 nominations per person and you can nominate a sauce that’s already been nominated by another reader. Manufacturers, you can nominate yourself as well.

The sauce of the month will be chosen 1 week after nominations begin and those readers that have nominated the chosen sauce will get 1 free case (unless you’re the manufacturer of course). And each Hot Sauce of the Month will be discounted for all HSB readers for that month.

Candy’s Private Reserve Kickin’ Hot Apple Suprise from Big Dawg Salsa.
You want flavor? This HAS GOT FLAVOR! I got my first bottle and after trying it I Immediately ordered 6 more. I am now out AGAIN!
Even if it doesn’t win-TRY IT, YOU”LL LIKE IT!!

My second choice for flavor over fire would be Blair’s Q Heat Habanero Mango. My girlfriend tried this while on a road trip and instantly fell in love. I have to say it is very good-excellent balance of heat and flavor.
At my house we lean towards the flavor over fire theory so I plan on being some stiff competition!!!

Reason: Would it being one of the hottest non extract sauces WITH GREAT FLAVOR that I’ve ever had count? Really. When I first tasted this in NM it was purely for the heat factor, but the one thing that hit me well before the heat was how good this sauce tasted. Really great sauce that I’m using almost on a daily basis since returning from NM.

scotty b’s just damn good habanero hot sauce. oh the flavor is right there in your face then the 8.7/10 heat hits you shortly afterwards and lingers for a comfortable 5-6 minutes.

second choice – danny cash’s naga sabi. got a bottle of that the other day and its half finished. the complex flavors and heat level are darn tooting good. (the truth – i hope those words werent too abrasive for you)

[Comment ID #85654 Quote]It’s coming guys. We’re getting more Naga right now and doing a limited run and a bunch of them will be going to Nick in the near future. No numbers or sigs, like you say Aaron, it’s just a limited run because Naga’s a pain to get still. We are close to having a steady supply though. I don’t think Nick could do a very big discount on them for sauce of the month -they are pricey.
Thanks for the plug on the BUA, too, Aaron!

This sauce is also the featured product at http://www.funnysalsa.com/ for the next few weeks.

CPR Kickin Hot Apple Surprise…..This sauce is full of flavor..not too hot…makes a great glaze for pork and chicken. But the chicken holds the heat of the sauce!! Just tried it for the first time a week ago and fell in love. Trying it on everything!!

My 2nd choice would be Try Me Tiger Sauce. I have seen it in every grocery store I’ve ever been in. This sauce goes with anything!! Not to hot but lots of flavor!! I’ve used it for Poppers, bbq, wings and dipping. I’ve yet to find a food that this sauce doesn’t work with. Plus the price is right!!!
